Kat Von D Poetica Palette Review + Rose's Beauty Store Experience

Hii
Lovelies!

I
think every beauty addict in the UK has been lusting over a variety of Kat Von
D products since their Sephora launch a few years back. But up until recently
Sephora did not ship in the UK, so there were limited options for us addicts to
get our swatch stained hands on Kat's makeup goodies.

I'm
a little late on the Rose's Beauty Store bandwagon but they are a UK store
selling those hard to get USA goodies we've all been lusting over. Some are
more reasonably priced than others but if you factor in shipping and what taxes
you'd pay most items work out pretty reasonably priced. The beauty of Rose's is
that what you pay at the checkout is what you pay, no pesky import tax slips
through your door. So if you don't fancy spending over £75 on the Sephora
website, or just want to pick up a couple of bits, Rose's Beauty Store is a more
affordable option. The palette is priced on their store at £38.99 with 99p
shipping per item, but a quick google search gave me the coupon code
"100" that deducted a lovely 10% off which is always nice to have.

I've
had my eye on Poetica for a long long time. But it wasn't until i spotted the
shade names i knew i had to have it. Long story short one of the shades,
Skiba, is named after one of the vocalists in my favourite band. So fangirling
aside... we'll get on with the review!

The shades
in this palette really are stunning and the range of shades is what really drew
me to this particular palette. I would say i don't have anything like at
least 5 or 6 of these in my collection (i really am still justifying the
purchase to myself). To be a little cliche... Most of these shades are soft
like butter. They really do have a gorgeous soft texture to them that makes
them blend superbly. I have had a little more trouble with the purples in the
palette as i find these have a stiffer texture but apply to the eye better than
they swatch. Oh! And i nearly forgot to mention the Autograph Pencil in Puro
Amor! I haven't reached for this a ton yet as I'm not a big pencil liner kinda
gal, but it is one of the blackest black liners i have seen.

I think
these are awesome summer colours and i am determined to get a lot of use out of
these especially that gorgeous orangey copper Chandler. I think its fair to say
I'm a little bit in love with this palette as a whole and I'll need to really
restrain myself from picking up more of her collection... The foundation is
next on my list!

Overall
this is a absolutely beautiful palette and well worth every penny. If you are
in the USA go give this absolute stunner a swatch in Sephora or if you're based
in the UK or Europe you can find this on Rose's Beauty Store here (Priced at
£38.99).
